What can I say about the Turaco lodge in Ngorongoro? This was an oasis of peace, tranquility and above all boundless kindness threaded with the luxury you would expect from a boutique hotel. The rooms are large and exceptionally comfortable and as a family of 5 were perfectly suited to our needs. After a long day of Safari retiring to our rooms was a delight. Toiletries in the bathroom of a high standard. There was even the offer to set up a roaring fire in the room - we took this up each night we stayed. The food was of a very high standard - the head waiter Omar ensured that every dietary need was catered for and the South African wine selection was good. The heated outdoor swimming pool was a God send for our children who used it to relax after a long day in the car and the fitness centre well kitted out. The snooker table was also a source of entertainment for the whole family. All in all we could not have wished for a better experience here and I can’t imagine this could have been topped - safe, comfortable and luxurious, we didn’t want to leave! Final thank you to Daniel, Hotel Manager who constantly checked in our own experience and well being.

Absolutely loved our time at Turaco. The team was incredibly warm and welcoming — they made us feel right at home and went above and beyond to take care of every request. A special thank you to the amazing restaurant team — Omar, both Pascals, Monica, Leonard, Stefano, and of course the chef — for making every meal a highlight. Grateful also to Beatrice from the wellness team and to Mfarisayo Mweusi and Kelvin from the support team for their thoughtful care throughout our stay. Not to forget the spectacular housekeeping staff who ensured our rooms were spotless and fully stocked with everything we needed during our stay.

The property is actually nicer than the pictures suggest. Beautifully maintained gardens with lush surroundings. The room was quite unique boasting a separate sitting area and fireplace. Very spacious with a nice patio to sit and unwind with a cold beverage. Huge bath room with separate shower and oversized tub. The staff was very attentive. Basso was great and helped me book a very last minute safari to Ngorongoro Crater, which is only about 20 mins away. Lake Maynara National Park is a hidden gem in the area and also near this property. The restaurant is beautiful and the French chef produced some fantastic dishes. Had some excellent seafood and a local Tanzanian dish which was excellent. Wine selection was very limited but it did the job. There’s an upstairs lounge area with a bar which was also very nice and inviting. It started raining one particular night after dinner, and there was someone waiting with an umbrella to walk me back to the room. Thought that was a nice touch. I chose to rent a car and drive from Arusha which is about 2.5 -3 hours away. Most people wouldn’t go this route and it’s understandable. I found the roads to be in mostly good condition. There were some challenges but all went well. Beware of goats and people on the road. The final few miles to the property are on a dirt road. While it slows things down it adds to the charm of where Turaco is located. I wouldn’t recommend driving at night. I was at Turaco during low season - so I felt I had the property to myself. The sound of rain at night on the foliage made for a soothing nights sleep. Even though it was the rainy season I was able to use the pool and get some sun. The staff was attentive and checked up on me poolside. Overall Turaco exceeded my expectations to the point I even extended my stay. If your planning on visiting Ngorongoro Crater or any of the nearby parks this is wonderful oasis and I look forward to returning here.

We stayed at the Turaco Ngorongoro Valley at the beginning of March and what a great experience it turned out to be. The staff were friendly and attentive, the rooms were spacious, well appointed and large whilst remaining cosy in feel. The hotel is set in lush green grounds which create a real sanctuary feeling, add this to the peace and quiet and this place really rejuvenates your body and soul after a hard days safari. If you want to add to the rejuvenation then visit the Spa; Beatrice really knows how to smooth out tired limbs after long days hitting the safari trails; real magic hands!! The food was great too and each evening we were offered a 5 course meal which was very good value. All in all, definitely a place I would visit again and a great base for surrounding safari destinations.

We had originally booked in for just one night on our way up to Ngorongoro but it was so good that we decided to change our return booking from a different hotel back to this one! The setting is superb, the rooms are outstanding and the food was very good. The staff were also excellent. Many thanks for a great couple of stays Dan & Anne
